272342 divided by 71 
Let's see how many times 71 fits into 272342.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 71, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 27 / 71

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 27 by 71, we get 0 with a remainder of 27.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 27 to get 27.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 27 and repeat the process: 272 / 71

On to step 3:
71 goes into 272 3 times with a remainder of 59.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3.0
The remainder is 59 after subtracting 213 from 272.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 59, then repeat: 593 / 71

Let's proceed to step 4:
71 goes into 593 8 times with a remainder of 25.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 38.0
Deduct 568 from 593 and we're left with 25.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 25 and continue: 254 / 71

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 254 by 71, we get 3 with a remainder of 41.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 383.0
Subtracting 213 from 254 leaves us with 41.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 41, then carry on: 412 / 71

Advancing to step 6:
The number 71 fits into 412 5 times, leaving a remainder of 57.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3835.0
Subtracting 355 from 412 leaves us with 57.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 570, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
71 can be fit into 570 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3835.8
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 568 from 570.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Step 8:
71 can be fit into 20 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3835.8
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 0 from 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
71 goes into 200 2 times with a remainder of 58.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3835.802
If we take 142 away from 200, we end up with 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
If we divide 580 by 71, we get 8 and a remainder of 12.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3835.8028
Subtract 568 from 580 to get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
71 can be fit into 120 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 49.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3835.80281
Deduct 71 from 120 and we're left with 49.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 490, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
The number 71 fits into 490 6 times, leaving a remainder of 64.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3835.802816
Deduct 426 from 490 and we're left with 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
The number 71 fits into 640 9 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3835.8028169
If we subtract 639 from 640, we get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
71 can be fit into 10 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3835.8028169
Deduct 0 from 10 and we're left with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Our division results in 3835.8028169 with a remaining 1e-08.
